Are you doing a lot of coding on your system? I find the 128 GB SSD is on the small size considering the quantity of library files. SSD's need to have enough free space for provisioning as well as wear leveling. When you don't have the spare space you can kill your SSD sooner than its intended life.

Replacing the SSD in this model is not very hard, here's the IFIXIT guide: MacBook Air 11" Mid 2013 SSD Replacement. I would recommend getting a larger SSD. Consider a 512 and larger should have a quarter free space and the smaller 128 & 256 should have a third free.

Hi! Thanks for reply! I was managing content on Time Capsule, not very successfully I guess. I need a MB Pro. I just cannot figure out why the SSD won’t mount. When I was able to get into recovery system the logs indicated other issues I will not go into without details. I was hoping target disk mode would let me erase.
